Depression

For a person suffering from depression, it can be a debilitating condition which they live with from day to day. Where, despite what some may think, it is not just a case of having a bad day, feeling down in the dumps and you should “pull yourself together” It is a serious mental illness which affects millions of people in the UK, across all walks of life.

Friends and loved ones may find it hard to understand why you feel so depressed. You could have a good job, a happy home life and a loving partner but something is missing from your life. You are lacking in motivation. You have no energy. You feel anxious and often feel that life itself has no meaning. But you are not alone.
